At Okonomi, we consider our food one plate and bowl at a time. With each dish, we strive to achieve a harmony between the ingredients and the pottery, upholding the belief that the vessel for Japanese cuisine is just as important as its contents.

Our plates and bowls are handcrafted by local artist Jordan Colón. They are made with New York soil, water, and wood. Once every other month, after each new firing, Okonomi hosts a touki-ichi (or “pottery fair”) in the studio space above the restaurant.
